Tonight On The CBS Evening News
Here’s an early look at what we are working on for tonight’s broadcast of The CBS Evening News from anchor Maggie Rodriguez who is filling in for Anchor and Managing Editor, Katie Couric
Hello, everyone. This is Maggie Rodriguez filling in for Katie.
For the 155 people on board U.S. Airways flight 1549 yesterday, their survival is nothing short of miraculous. As those passengers return home after the scare of a lifetime, federal investigators are examining the jetliner that made an emergency landing in the Hudson River. One thing that could complicate the investigation: both engines are missing. Bob Orr will have the very latest on this story.
We'll also share the personal stories tonight of some of the passengers and crew, including one man who will have a remarkable reunion with the co-pilot who literally gave him the shirt off his back.
Plus, the captain who's being hailed as a hero for saving his passengers. John Blackstone shows us what friends and family are saying about “Sully” the pilot. And Ben Tracy goes to a crash simulator to get some perspective on how everyone on board survived, and what you should do if you ever find yourself in a water crash situation.
Next: Protecting the president. Armen Keteyian takes an exclusive look inside one company that's found a way to build a shield to keep Barack Obama safe. They even let us test its strength by firing automatic weapons at it. You won't want to miss seeing if it holds up.
Finally tonight, you may have heard that superstar cellist Yo Yo Ma has a spot on Barack Obama's iPod. He also holds a place on the Inauguration Day roster. In tonight's Road to the Inauguration story, Michelle Miller talks with the man whose music will introduce the next president of the United States.
Have a great weekend,
Maggie

Saturday On 48 Hours Mystery
Here’s a look at what’s coming up on Saturday’s broadcast of 48 HOURS MYSTERY, Peace, Love and Murder:
It was the early 1970s when Bob Eckhart and Toni Soren met. The two self-proclaimed hippies fell in love instantly and were married only 48 hours after meeting, blending their last names to create a new romantic one: “Heartsong.” Twenty-seven years and two children later, their union was torn apart when Bob came home from work to find Toni bludgeoned and stabbed to death, with seven wounds to her neck.
Bob Heartsong’s peaceful personality wasn’t all that made him an unlikely suspect in his wife’s death. An unidentified fingerprint discovered on the deadbolt of the door, a series of burglaries at neighboring homes and a suspicious homeless man spotted in the area all likely eliminated Heartsong as a possible suspect. His alibi, seemingly corroborated by his co-workers, also placed him 43 miles from the murder scene and he even passed the police’s lie detector test.
The case went cold-until 2006. Six years after Toni Heartsong’s murder, a determined detective reopened the case in the hope that new DNA technology could help uncover her killer. Authorities believed they struck gold when the tests came back identifying Bob Heartsong’s blood under his wife’s thumbnail and his DNA on her hand, providing enough evidence for prosecutors to try him for her murder.
But could this affable man who said his marriage was “like living in nirvana” so brutally kill his wife? What about the co-workers who claimed Heartsong was at work during the crime? And the strange man who was spotted in the area around the time of the murder?
Harold Dow reports on this week’s 48 HOURS MYSTERY, Peace, Love and Murder.
48 HOURS MYSTERY airs Saturday at 10pmET/9CT

Here's What We've Planned For Sunday Morning CHARLES OSGOOD ANCHORS FROM WASHINGTON, D.C.
INAUGURATION HISTORY: Inaugural ceremonies and speeches have set the tone for administrations ever since President George Washington took the oath of office in 1789. Chief Washington Correspondent Bob Schieffer takes us on a journey through some of the best and worst moments in the history of this great American spectacle, as he looks back on 220 years of Inaugural ceremonies and celebrations, interviewing such political figures as William Safire, District of Columbia Mayor Adrian Fenty and Linda Douglass of the Obama Presidential Inaugural Committee.
DOOMSDAY: How prepared is a new president to deal with a national or world crisis on day one? Rita Braver talks with top Bush administration officials about the plans they’ve developed for the incoming Obama team to deal with a doomsday scenario.
POET: Erin Moriarty speaks with poet Elizabeth Alexander as she prepares for the job of her lifetime: reciting an original poem during Barack Obama’s inauguration.
AGING PRESIDENTS: After a relatively short time in office, Presidential hair turns gray…and deep lines seem to etch themselves into Presidential faces...as if being President actually speeds up the aging process. But...according to one study...that is exactly what happens. Tracy Smith has the latest wrinkle on a theory that claims Presidents age twice as fast as the rest of us.
MARIAH CAREY: Troy Roberts profiles the singer who will be performing at one of the Inaugural Balls.
RHETORIC: Jeff Greenfield tells us what to look for, and what to listen for, on Inauguration Day---and considers not only what the incoming Presidents said, but where they said them, what the outgoing Presidents might have been feeling, and other trenchant observations of Inaugurations past.
OUR KIND OF TOWN: It seems people are interested in seeing places and meeting people that are in ANY way connected to President elect Barack Obama. So it is not surprising that there are now Obama tours in his hometown of Chicago. Bill Geist boards the tour bus and visits some of these new tourist attractions-including the vacant ice cream shop where the Obama’s had their first kiss, the ballroom where they held their wedding reception, the barber shop where the President elect has had his hair cut, and the restaurant where Mr. Obama has enjoyed breakfast. How does our next President like his eggs? You’ll find out this Sunday Morning.
NATURE: Bald Eagles in Wisconsin.
